Recipe Introduction
The recipe seems a little confusing; but never-the-less I love lemon too much to pass it up.
List of Ingredients
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 slightly beaten egg
Combine first 3 ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat. Stir constantly until
thick. Blend in 2 tablespoons butter and 4 drops yellow food coloring. Cool. Reserve 1/4 cup for frosting.
Crush enough graham crackers to fill 3/4 cup. Reserve 2 tablespoons for frosting.
Mix 3 cups flour,
1 tsp salt
1/2 teaspoon soda. Set aside.
Add 2 cups sugar to 1 cup butter and 1 tablespoon grated
lemon rind. Cream very well (5-8 minutes).
Blend in 5 unbeaten eggs, one-at-a-time. Beat well after each
addition.
Add dry ingredients alternately with 1 cup buttermilk. Begin and end with dry ingredients.
Blend well after each.
Mix on low, if a mixer is used.
Turn 2/3 of the batter into well greased (bottom) tube pan.
Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Spoon lemon filling over crumbs. Top with remaining batter. Bake
at 375º for 55-65 min. CoolRecipe
Frosting:
1/4 cup butter
3 ounces cream cheese
reserved lemon filling
2 cups powdered sugar
